Choosing
to become a Russian major can easily be the most meaningful decision you
can make at Williams. At least, it was so with me. The subject can give
you a glimpse into fantastic land, people and literature, which remain
a secret for too many in the West. In that pursuit at Williams, you will
be guided by three mentors, who are not only wonderful teachers but also
extremely active and supportive people. Wonderful informatlity reigns
in the department. It makes possible to waive requirements, design independent
courses, organize frequent cultural events. Yet, ultimately, the study
of Russian language, literature and history requires the active role of
the Student himself. The crucial decision is to spend a year (or at least
a term) abroad. Although not obligatory, the time you live in Russia will
make you understand life infinitely better. Of the other former Soviet
republics, Williams has a particular association with Georgia--an unspeakably
colourful, indescribable country, where the sheer horrors and joys of
existance have been maximally exposed. No one can return from the Winter
Study in Georgia or a year abroad. Russian majors graduating in 2002
